Best Answer

You know your slope by finding two points on a line P1(x, y) and P2(x, y) and use the following equation:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).'m is the slop

or

put the line in the form y = mx + C, where m is the slope and C is the y-intersection length

How do you find the slope of a parallel line?

Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you know the slope of a line in question, or you can calculate it, then you know the slope of any line parallel to that line.

If AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is one over two what is the slope of AB?

The slope of line AB will be 1/2. Two parallel lines will always have the same slope, so if you know the slope of one line that is parallel to another, you know the other line's slope.


How do you know when the slope of a line is negative?

You know when the slope of a line is negative when m in the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b is negative. For example, y=-3x+2 has a negative slope since m (which is -3 in this case) is negative. This is the same when finding a positive slope, because if m is positive, then the slope is positive.

What is the slope of a line that decreases from left to right?

We know that its slope is negative, but without an equation or some points the line passes through we can't determine the actual value of the slope.

You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.


What is the slope of a curve line?

The slope of a curved line changes as you go along the curve and so you may have a different slope at each point. Any any particular point, the slope of the curve is the slope of the straight line which is tangent to the curve at that point. If you know differential calculus, the slope of a curved line at a point is the value of the first derivative of the equation of the curve at that point. (Actually, even if you don't know differential calculus, the slope is still the value of the function's first derivative at that point.)
